Hi! My name is Ryan Condon and I am from Rosemount, Minnesota. My favorite memories as a child were always on the water, so I knew I wanted to serve my country in a maritime branch. However, the hardest choice was which one! For most of my life, I thought that I was going to be in the Navy. However, after attending AIM the summer before my senior year really opened my eyes to the Academy as well as the different missions of the Coast Guard. After AIM, I knew, without a doubt, that the Coast Guard Academy was for me.

At the Academy, I keep very busy. I am involved with cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. I also do regimental band. Although sometimes these activities lead me to get less sleep than some of my classmates, they are definitely worth it! When I have free time, I enjoy going out to eat, watching movies, and talking with friends.
